ABOUT THE WEBINAR:

A significant percentage of mortgage transaction costs originate from order management activities. Key strategies and solutions are presented to mitigate and/or reduce this cost.

As lenders continue to ramp up, it is key to have the right digital tools to continue to provide uninterrupted service to borrowers.
